Meet our newest and youngest KPR kids who I am lovingly referring to as the “weirdo litter” for reasons that I will attempt to explain.

I was asked if we could take a litter of Cattle dog pups who had been handraised since their mother rejected them when they were just 2 weeks old. I agreed and then asked if they were crossed with anything. The owner said that mum had got out of the yard and that dad was unknown. They had also surrendered mum to the pound when she rejected her pups.

In further messages, they referred to mum as a “Kelpie cross” and when I received a photo of the pups, I have to admit, I was a bit confused. They did not resemble any Cattle or Kelpie pups that I had ever seen.

But, by far the most unique feature of these puppies is that 5 out of the 8 are missing tails.

I am not talking about short tails or stumpy tails, I am talking about NO tail. They have spines and then nothing! Bare bottoms! Thankfully, the vet has checked them all thoroughly and their a**l sphincters are working perfectly but it begs the question, what breed are they?

Currently, at almost 7 weeks old, they all weigh around 2 kg. The majority of them are brindle, with bits of black and white. One guy (clearly the milkman’s kid) is tan.

So, what are your guesses as to their breed? I honestly have no idea!

ITS OUR 10th BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂🥳🎁

At the beginning of the year, we started thinking about ways to celebrate our 10th birthday.

10 years in any small business is an incredible milestone but 10 years in rescue………well that equates to about 10 dog years! It is something that very few get to celebrate.

Throughout the year, as we became more and more busy, plans for a grand celebration were put on the backburner and whilst we fully intended to return to them, somehow this never happened.

When I woke up this morning and the news anchor on the tv mentioned that it was the first day of spring, my first thought was, why do I feel like I am forgetting something but I quickly realised that our 10th birthday had snuck up on me and that, true to form, celebration planning had gone out the window with the best of my intentions.

So, as we celebrate our “little” rescue that was started on the 1/9/2016, I am asking for your support in a way that I barely ever do. For the month of September, we are asking as many of you as possible, to show your support with a tax deductible donation to our rescue. All donations over $2 are tax deductible so all you need to do, once you donate, is send us a message with your details so that we can send you a receipt.

For the next 30 days, we are going to be running this donation drive. No amount is too small, every single dollar adds up. With donations at an all time low and surrenders at an all time high, we would be incredibly grateful for any help.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us in every way for the last decade. We are so proud of KPR and the wonderful rescue community we have created. Bring on the next 10 years!

Do you love working with animals, have a passion for rescue and have some spare time on your hands? Are you willing to volunteer some of your time and skill to help KPR?

We need you!

We are looking for some special people who we can count on to help our KPR kids on their road to adoption. Ideally, they will be people who can commit to volunteering on a regular basis or being available “as needed”. The only thing we ask is that you turn up when you say you will.

The people we are searching for include

A dog trainer - Knowledgeable, understanding of rescue dogs and honest. We would love someone that we can build a relationship with and trust. They need to be comfortable with a range of sizes and breeds and knowledge of fear and anxiety is an advantage. The great news is that you will get heaps of experience, meet some incredible dogs, and become an important link in the new life of rescue dogs. We just need someone who we can call and get advice from or who can pop in and evaluate/make a plan for dogs who need that bit of extra help.

A photographer – It is no secret that photos help animals get adopted. They are the first thing that potential adopters notice, and they can show so much about an animal’s personality. Portraits, action shots, silly photos showing their goofy side and even photoshoots with props are fun ways to showcase a dog. Imagine the versatility you can add to your portfolio!

People who like brushing and bathing animals. This might seem a bit vague but some people actually like doing that type of thing. Basic grooming can be very time consuming, and our team is already stretched to the limit. Ideally, this would be on a Monday, but other days could be discussed. We have a hydrobath and hydraulic grooming table. If you are confident, we also have clippers etc for you to use if you are willing to try your hand at clipping a dog who needs it. You would need to be confident in handling all sorts of dogs.

The reality is that there are probably heaps of other things we would love help with so if you have any special interest or skill, regardless of how minor you may think it is, please reach out to us. You could help to make our rescue run just a little smoother.

Foster carer wanted

Senior girl, Suri, is a soft and gentle soul. At 10 years old, she has had a good life but sadly, her elderly mum has needed to go into a nursing home.

Suri now needs someone who will love her for the rest of her life.

Suri is wonderful with other dogs. She is gentle and non reactive. She is obviously significantly overweight so she could definitely do with some gentle exercise and a few less treats.

Suri is looking for a comfortable bed, a warm place in the sun and someone to love her. We are told that she is a Beagle x Staffy and she currently weighs 30kg (but should weigh a lot less).

If you can offer to foster Suri, or would like to do a foster with a view to adoption, please fill in the online foster form on our website www.karmasplacerescue.org.au and we will give you a call.

Suri is currently located in Kingaroy QLD and needs to be collected from here.

🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺 Dog outing days FAQ 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

Q Do we need to register beforehand?
A No. Just turn up when you have some spare time.

Q Is there any cost?
A Of course not!

Q Can we bring kids?
A Absolutely, as long as they are supervised by a parent or guardian.

Q Can we choose what dog we want to spend time with?
A There is usually a different mix of dogs available each time. We try to have some small, medium and large dogs. Just let us know if you would like a specific dog or have specific requirements (such as kid friendly) and our team will be happy to help.

Q Where can we go?
A That is the beauty of our dog outing days. The adventure is up to you! Some people come and take a dog for a quick 10 minute walk, some take them out for hours. Our dogs have gone to peoples homes, nursing homes, parks, dog park, been treated to pupaccinos and chicken nuggets, hikes, drives in the car, trips to bunnings, the pet shop, the hydrobath………the list goes on!

Q Who benefits from the outings?
A Our dog outings were started for the dogs, but it has gone much further than that. The feedback that we receive from the people who take part has been so incredible. We have people from all walks of life who come along and spend time with our dogs. People who are too busy to commit to a dog, people who have sadly lost their beloved dog and are not ready to fall in love again. People who rent and are not permitted to have a dog and people who just want to have some company while they go for a run or a walk. Sometimes it is even people who are thinking about adopting and want to meet some of our dogs before they apply.

If you have any other questions that you would like answered, please leave a comment and I will happily answer. We hope to see you soon!

Every Saturday morning from 9am-12pm
Tomorrow we will also have some young dogs who have not mastered walking on lead yet and some dogs who would love a bath or a brush so if you are not wanting to go on a big adventure, you are welcome to come and spend time helping with those dogs.

ADOPTED!

Please meet the last of Salamai’s puppies, Riley!

This super friendly boy is ready to start the search for a family of his very own.

Riley was a “cryptorchid” meaning that one of his testicles had not descended into his sc***um. He needed a bigger surgery in order for our vets to locate and safely remove the testicle from his abdomen but he is making a good recovery.

Riley is a 4 kg Mini Foxie x boy who is great with other dogs and with cats. He is a social, affectionate, loving boy who will bond strongly to his family.

As a puppy, Riley is still working on toilet training and leash walking so he needs a home where that will be continued. Like all puppies, Riley will need ongoing training to make him the best canine citizen he can be.

Riley is located in Kingaroy QLD.
To express interest in adopting him, please fill in the online adoption inquiry form on our website www.karmasplacerescue.org.au
